that's accurate

No doubt about that. It's solid, but definitely not as well done as the first three games.

He's an internet reviewer, and he's fucking Canadian. He's mostly pretty chill but has some spots of annoying that I can remember. He released them a few years ago I think, and I haven't watched them since they were uploaded.
>>316413662
This is pretty much the literal, objectively correct ranking.
Everyone who says "No, Sh2 is the bestest, it's so psychological and shit, it's what SH is all about!!!!" have never played another SH in their life.
S is and will always be about Alessa and the cult.
Therefore alone 1 and 3 are the best SH games.

I've already played all the games a million times. I just want to see other peoples reaction and/or listen to peoples thoughts - similiar to why I constantly start SH-threads.
>>316415341
I like how they give you a false sense of security with the regenerating health in the apartment, just to take it away later
The twin victims may also be the best designed monster in the series
But the game also had a lot of backtracking and an escort mission
You're supposed to go alone through horror games man, and the moment you were going a second time through all the areas would've been the PERFECT opportunity to introduce the otherworld and the flashlight
up, right, up, right then go.
I think.
Don't mind me, just best hillfu coming through
>>316416091
Otherworld works a little different in that game though. It's like - you are already there and everyone else is outside of it.

Not that anon, but they are kinda scary and the first time you see them, they get you. Also very unforgettable design - compared to other monsters in the same game (insect-bats and wall-monsters are just very bland).
I don't know what I would vote for if there ever was a vote for this sort of thing. I could maybe pick one favorite from each game
SH1 = puppet nurses/doctors and the jumping adults
SH2 = Nurse and abstract daddy
SH3 = Closer and dog I think.

Yeah, I'm good with this.
People like to bash Shattered Memories but it was an interesting take on things, just an interesting way to look at the story. It's its own thing, separate of the rest, and is an okay game. I think fleshing out the psychology mechanic would have been cool but it worked for what it was, I suppose.
Also, UFO ending. I chuckled.

FOUR games.
Seriously, 4 is underrated. It tried something new and did a great job.
Seriously, to this day the apartment scenes are way more memorable and scary than any Amnesia-facecam-twitch game could ever be.
Really the only thing that's wrong with this game is the backtracking.
>>316418213
No, it's up there with 1 and 3
>>316418272

then I remember the one time I DIDN'T pin him down and he did all those goofy Luigis Mansion-attacks on me (rolling like a ball etc). Yeah, definitely pin that guy.
>>316418047
see
>>316415538
2 is a great game, but 1 (clearly not by today's standards) and 3 are objectively the best silent hill games.
The only reason 2 is so hyped is because it was the first sh game for most players. and after all these years it became a meme game.
There is a reason why the movie used pyramid head instead of the moth, because no normie has ever played sh 1.

>>316418768
Homecoming was way better than Downpour though.
>>316418981
Play it, it's easily one of the best games out there.
And i mean games in general, not survival horror games.
After over a decade, it looks still better than recent games and has a phenomenal atmosphere.
But whatever you do, don't play on hard. The riddles are almost impossible.
>>316419184
exactly
>>316419035
Different anon, but some of Origin's levels were fucking labyrinthine, and not in the fun way. That fucking asylum got my goat good.
The characters were okay, it was nice getting some more Lisa, but it felt kind of bare-bones otherwise. A lot of story being told, not a lot being shown, felt like.
>>316419035
I didn't like the story at all, most of the enemy designs were poor, and the game played it too safe and was too derivative of the older games. It didn't try anything to make it stand out on its own. It was still enjoyable and surprisingly scary at times, and I liked the references to The Tempest, but I liked all the others better.
>>316413662
I agree with the list but 4 is still my favourite. Mostly for nostalgia sake.
>>316419248
>That fucking Shakespeare riddle
>>316419307
>>316419282
To be far, it was limited due to the PSP.
But i can understand the criticism except for
>Origin's levels were fucking labyrinthine, and not in the fun way
Isn't that the point of SH games? You check every door on a floor until you find the one unlocked one that leads you to the next item.
>>316417886
It was a nice exploration game, and worked just great on the Wii but it was far from a Silent Hill game. Hell, it was barely a horror game.
My biggest issue is that the game is so repetitive and that there isn't any threat in the normal world. Also, part of the reason I loved the nightmare sequences in SH was because I got the explore the little things that made it unnerving; in SM you gotta keep moving but well, it's not like there are many things you can look at because it's covered with ice.
>>316419184
I don't think so. Both had shitty stories. Homecoming was actually scary, had much better enemy designs, and better combat. But it was also far more action focused than the other games and had boring environments. Downpour had better environments and much better pacing with more exploration and better puzzles. But it also had terrible enemy designs outside of the weeping bat, worse combat, and technical problems galore.
Both were okay as generic horror games, but neither felt like Silent Hill and neither was significantly better than the other.
>>316419248
>After over a decade, it looks still better than recent games
This for fuck sake.

Is it hot in here /v/?
>>316418730
It's not a meme game, goddamn
>>316419660
A Shattered Memories spiritual sequel would have been great if they just got rid of the chase scenes and replaced them with traditional otherworld stuff. Maybe keep like two or three chase scenes for when you encounter a specific enemy, but no more than that. Add in a few enemies during the non-otherworld parts, and add in defensive weapons like the REmake had so if you get caught you can escape without taking damage if you use one of the limited-use weapons.
>>316419248
>not playing with hard riddles for maximum fun
Having to research Shakespeare on my old literature books to beat a motherfucking videogame was a unique experience.
>>316419863
>>316419540
Because it is LITERALLY impossible.
To solve this puzzle, you have to have a giant knowledge about all of Shakespeare's works. You basically have to actually study his works.
>>316419841
The game looks fantastic for a PS2 game but anyone saying it looks better than modern stuff is crazy.
>in before some retard cherrypicks a screenshot of some modern shovelware game

No shitposting, even the waifufags are chilled. And the typical "Game A is better than Game B" discussion is grounded and people respect the opinions of others?
It's 2:30 am here, i'm drunk, listening to the amazing SH soundtrack and enjoy this thread.
Sorry for the blogging and if it sounds way too gay.
>>316420548
You need to be knowledgeable enough about Shakespeare to recognize his books by reading a single passage, and then know which one of his works is in which volume of the Anthology.
So yes, either a guide, lower difficulty or a fuckton of research, in a time where it wasn't as easy as "Google it".
>>316420557
>>316420126
if someone uses the term "meme game" in any serious context please do not reply to his post
>>316420132
They kind of implemented some ideas from SM in Downpour with the whole run from the void thing, and shake off the enemies that climb onto you.
But Downpour sucked.
>>316420557
Meme game in his case means a game that dwarfs the entire rest of the series in popularity, to the point where people only play 2 then exclaim that the rest of the series is like that.
Just cause it's a meme game doesn't mean it's bad.
It has the lowest score of the first 3 games on Gamespot.Fucking every game that came out in the past year has 9/10 scores there. Deus Ex has an 8.6.
>>316420548
Like some anon said, it's basically impossble to solve the hard puzzles with your knowledge alone.
You literally have to research stuff. I personally loved that, it took me days to beat these fucking puzzles, but i can understand how people get annoyed by it.
>>316420389
Have you played or watched this game recently?
Of course it can't compare with an Uncharted or Bamham, but you the animations, lighting and textures are still top notch.
IIRC Silent Hill 3 is one of a few games that actually has moving textures. And that in 2003.
>>316421304
Last time I replayed it was around the time the HD Collection came out. Obviously I didn't play that version, but instead busted out my PS2 once I found out the HD port was butchered.
>>316421559
There is 2 hour video on youtube on how hard they fucked up the HD port.
It as obviously made by uber SH fanboys, but it's still interesting.
>>316421795
Or watch an abridged version
>>316421795
>HD port got higher scores than the originals, and praised the amazing visuals and clarity.
Don't you love video games?
>>316421795
Yeah I've seen plenty about it. I was hyped as fuck for that collection. Then they announced they were changing the voice acting. Then I saw the gameplay footage and screenshots. Fuck I hate Konami.
>>316422105
>>316422062
>>316421795
I still can't understand how you can fuck up so hard.
They literally removed everything that made SH so great
>no fog
>clean textures
>new voice actors
Was it really so hard to simply upscale the textures?
what if pyramid head behaved more like nemesis from RE3?
as in, what if his appearances were randomized and if he could follow you from room to room, or if he could find you on the streets?
Just some thoughts I had
>>316422293
But there is fog, it's just all magical and shaped like a wall
>>316422105
>HD port got higher scores
This isn't true at all. The originals had much higher scores.
>>316420717
>Why are Silent Hill threads the most chilled threads on /v/?
Because it has 100+ replies with only 29 unique posters
>>316422672
I like the cozier size.
>>316422508
>what if his appearances were randomized and if he could follow you from room to room, or if he could find you on the streets?
Sounds like shit 2bh, sorry.
>>316422293
They had NOTHING. Konami dumped everything after they made the game, the PC port dudes had to completely rebuild the game, as well. They didn't want to pay real money for a cult series noone really gives a shit about, so they cheaped out the devs fucked it.
MGS HD port was rebuilt by a real team scraping shit out of the discs.
>>316422508
I wouldn't like it. Loses effect after so much, and I spend so much time exploring I would just get annoyed. Nemesis was big because it was a huge change for the series, and the only really scary thing that caused tension in the first three games.
>>316420717
Because we are all gathered in reminisce over a dead series.
Also since Silent Hills was cancelled, there's no point in shitposting in a SH thread because you know, there's no longer a spotlight on the franchise.
Every SH fan should watch this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymOVhMrdpH0
It's an interview with Guy Cihi, the (voice) actor of James Sunderland, about the development of SH 2.

>>316422843
>>316422817

although that could just be a higher difficulty option, while the normal game stayed the same

>>316423084
i think i remember seeing a video of McGlynn basically shitting all over the original VAs
I remember I was quite disappointed in her
>>316422843
That brings up the issue of HD remasters of games in the first place.
For TV and Movies they can take the original film negatives (if shot on film) and scan them at a higher resolution, remastering old music from original lossless recordings is probably not quite as much effort either.
Original source code for all these old games is probably really hard to keep together when replacing old hard drives and so on, if it was all even together at the same place at all.
Being a fan of old games is suffering.
>>316423853
They could have done what Blue Point did
>>316423743
Is that the girl who played Heather?
That sucks. The original Heather was probably the best VA in Silent Hill up to that point, in terms of believable emotion.
That said,
>>316423084
Sounds like a cool guy, and I liked his voice even if it was a little bit silly.
>>316423853
They fuck up blu-ray all the time. See almost all of Disneys blu-rays and Predator.
>>316423981
That would cost money, time, and effort.
>>316424178
>>316423743
Did they really recast Heather?
I thought they only fucked with the SH2 cast
>>316424193
It's not like the HD collection was made free
>>316423981
Is Blue Point always able to work with original source code?
Hope that doesn't sound like a troll question, I actually don't know.
>>316424628
They aren't most of the time, they instead reverse-engineer the game from a retail disc
It takes actual effort to do that
>>316424607
I don't think you understand, this was a budget operation. Bare minimum.
>>316424628
No. They try to work the shit off the disc.
>>316423084
>They didn't explain the plot to him to make his confusion more believable
Hahah, I mean I guess it's about right, but that still must have seemed like a dick move at the time.

>>316424903
Was about to post that.
It just shows how much TN and devs in general back then cared for their games.
Just look at the fucking puzzles, they probably spend days on just one of them.
>>316424586
They got both the original and a new voice cast for SH2 as options, SH3 only has a new voice cast.
>>316424586
They re-recorded all dialogues with new VA in both games. The difference was that you could switch between original voices and new voices in SH2.
SH3 got screwed all over.
>>316425231
>>316425214
Why would you even do that?
Opinions of the movies?
I'll admit, I actually liked them. Up to that point, the first one felt like the first movie to actually make the effort to capture the atmosphere of the game. And it felt creepy; the CG didn't look as jarring and stupid as it sometimes tends to these days. Maybe if I went back to watch it now it'd be different, but at the time it was cool.
The second movie... disappointed me in some places? But I still liked it. My biggest gripes were Douglas dying, Harry NOT dying, and Vincent being a hot young hunk (and still related to heather, because stupid decisions).

>>316425497
>What a beatiuful voice this Troy Baker has
>>316425321
Because Konami and their lawyers didn't feel like putting any more money and effort into these remakes than the absolute bare minumum required.
It's kind of pathetic really, even if I can sort of understand their approach from a financial and legal point of view.
>>316425397
The first one is actually a good movie. Of course a movie can nver cover 100% of the source material. But as you said, the atmosphere was great, also the GI. And the PH scene was one of the most brutal scenes i've ever seen. It tried to capture all of the SH essence into one movie.
Of course that would fail, but it is still a good movie, even a decent SH movie.
The second one was simply atrocious. Generic 3d jumpscare shit for the youtube audience.
>>316425986
And you have to remember, you really do, that up to that point (And even since? I'm not sure) the only other video game movies that were even noteworthy were all those Uwe Boll schlock pics.
>mfw enjoying homecoming
>>316425397
First one is possibly one of the best game to movie adaptations. That's not to say it's a good movie, but in a world where we have the RE movies and Uwe Boll making video game movies SH was the lesser evil.
The second one is just utter shite. They made the wrong decision to make it a sequel to the first movie while trying to make the story similar to SH1&3 even though the first one was far from what the games were about (they just borrowed the characters and some ideas), so they ended up with a mess.
It's a pretty long video review and some people hate them, but I think this is a good analysis on why the second movie failed so much: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQt2hNIBKNk

The combat is objectively the best in the series. The story and characters are also pretty nice.

>Many fans write saying that Konami is 'bad off' these days. I agree they disrespect fans, but 'bad off' is not how I would describe Konami as a business entity. Investors seem to agree because Konami's stock price has risen over the months since they leaked the dismissal of Kojima and commenced the utter deconstruction of KojiPro. Such is the world we live in... *sigh* Being an artist is never easy. Kojima needs all the love and support that his tireless creative efforts have earned him. At the same time, nobody should be thinking that Konami is about to roll over dead anytime soon. The only thing they will be rolling over in is new piles of cash once their mobile pachinko games are launched. The entire digital entertainment industry is now poised and waiting for the Japanese government to legalize gambling. This is just the calm before the storm. Place your bets!

The wrong one.

Oh yeah, I remember all the witch burning in Silent Hill.
Better than shit does not mean it's good. It is a thoroughly mediocre film

Nobody "talked him down." Konami simply said he wasn't allowed to do it.
Probably because that would have cost more funding, since that would have meant remodeling and brand new animation for all cutscenes and dialogue.
Of course, if you ever ask Tomm himself about it (like I have), he'll say he never wanted to rewrite the story.
>>316413662
I actually agree with this. OP is on to something.

>>316425321
there was a lot of drama and ego-waving involved. The whole thing still boiled down to:
1) Konami didn't wanna pay royalties to the old VAs, and
2) Tomm Hulett hated literally everything in the original games, and made his crew bash the old actors.
If you got time, watch the TwinPerfect's (long) analysis/review video on the HD Collection. It's some sad and hilarious shit.
>>316423587
Yes, but if you're ever in Japan, or he's in the area, getting in touch with him is not hard and you can chill with him. He's always willing to hang out with fans of the game or his work. A friend of mine did that earlier this year. He said it's cool but always crowded.
>>316425397
The first movie was decent up until Rose got inside the church. Everything after that felt like it was made by an entirely different group of people. Corny dialog, exposition dumps, and awful effects ruined the second half.
The entire second film was awful. It is hands down one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Not only did it butcher the source material, but even taken on its own it was a terrible movie.
>>316428759
It's actually sad and cringy how his entire career is based on one video game and he is showing that in everyone's face.

As much as i hate that fag, he hasn't said like 90% of these quotes.

Tomm is a faggot but I find this hard to believe. More like the crew of the HD Collection were just self-fellating assholes.

He's said EVERY single one of those. On forums, in interviews, in fucking VIDEOS made by himself.
Just look it up. TP's video has most of those shown and listed.
>>316428950
How so?
>>316430261
The game is 13 years old and his entire facebook page is plastered with SH2 shit.
You would think he has moved on by now.
>>316430885
He's actually a successful lawyer before and after doing SH2. Hardly his entire career.
>>316430885
to be honest, it's partially the fan-base and the general worship towards SH2, that keeps him attached to that title.
Being part of a highly acclaimed cult-hit classic, in a very important role as well, is definitely not a bad thing. Plus, didn't Guy work as a VA for that one SH-vibe survival horror game just recently?
>>316414415
Fungo did a let's play of SH2 together with Guy Cihi (James Sunderland) and David Schaufele (Eddy Dombrowski) which is a must watch for fans of the game.

Hi Fungo!
Does anyone else feel like winter/Christmas time is the best time to play this series? Maybe because winter means snow/foggy/darker atmosphere in real life, maybe cause winter makes everything feel so isolated, I can't really put my finger on it but late November and December seems to be the best time to play.
>>316431449
>>316431384
I know that he has a careers besides sh, but seeing a 60 old posting fanart of one project he has, for years, is just sad
>>316431807
I dunno, I don't see what the problem is.
>>316431478
>>316431592
Just watch it with add block.
Not thta anon, but it's really great. Cihi and Schaufele even reading their dialogs.
>>316431628
This is a normal feeling for any game/movie/book etc.

VGA's playthrough of 2 was pretty good as long as you don't mind them shitting all over the game
It seems that whether 2 or 1 and 3 are your favourites depends on whether you like existential/introspective or generic lovecraftian horror.
>>316430885
Why can't he enjoy it? I mean, Mark Hamill CONSTANTLY went on about his role as Joker, years before the Arkham trilogy
>>316433275
>generic lovecraftian horror.
Pls explain.
>>316433275
>generic
>lovecraftian
also 1 and 3 are literally not lovecraftian you retard
>>316433379
And that is cringy as fuck.
People only let it pass because he "is" Luke Skywalker.
>>316417978
I now want to see Dante holding Heather by the leg like that scene with Lady
>It just keeps raining babes!
>>316433881
I guess we have different definitions of "cringy".
Why Heather is best waifu:
>unique
>hot without being "too hot"
>great character development
>strong woman without femi/tumblr bullshit
>still vulnerable
>sexy voice
One of the devs described it perfectly
>perfection is boring
That's why Heather has all these wrinkles, bad skin, greasy hair, etc.
That's why she is the ultimate silent waifu

Use of supernatural elements, hell and cults to tell the story. Very classic, very generic, easily recognizable and seen in almost every horror and fantasy game in existence.
>>316415898
Angela isn't half bad either, even if she is damaged goods
>>316434616
I don't think you understand what lovecraftian means.
>tfw want to play Silent Hill 1
>no PS1 or PS3

If I can get a PS1 for $20, it's a $60 deal

>>316417886
I just wish they had gone with an original story like intended. By rehashing the original, and even using that as a selling point, it only made its eventual downfall all the more apparent. While sometimes a remake that takes a known story in a new direction can work, this just wasn't the right case.

First is ok, it's up there with the first Mortal Kombat film.
Second is complete shit that shits on the shit left by the first film and just keeps shitting itself until it's nothing but shit
>>316429181
Yes he fucking did
>>316428034
So did Tommy boy really do a rewrite or not? Because as I always hear it, he had a "revised" story done, swear he even said so in an interview. So which is it?
>>316433881
No, it really isn't. If someone had a great run as a character, let them enjoy it.
>>316435623

What did they say? I mean, I know from the ending they at least wanted to cover SH2, and maybe elements of Pisspoor, but what else did they have in mind?
I need the laugh.

Oh come on, you can't deny that Homecoming improved on the combat
>>316423587
Why is his right arm so jaggy looking?
>>316436014
2 is objectively the worst. deal with it fag :^)

composer used sample and production libraries from sony to make the soundtrack

>>316436135
It really didn't. If anything, it only made it worse. The combat in the originals was bad, but that was because the team only made it serviceable. They wanted you to run away from most fights. Hell, the third game literally even punishes you for killing monsters too much in the second playthrough and on.
Homecoming had some neat ideas, but they weren't meant for Silent Hill. And I mean that as in they were unfitting of what the combat was meant to be about. Dodging, QTE escapes, and battle damage only made the fights drag out, which isn't all that scary when you have a conga line of nurses, dogs, and other monsters.
>>316436408
this
composer is a hack
>>316436319
Compared to Eddie? I'd say no. Granted, Eddie hadn't really "killed" anyone yet beyond that guy's dog, and MAYBE the owner if the shot he delivered wasn't treated in time.
But Angela might have been able to recover. It's just that James was not meant to do so, given he had to conquer his demons firsts and foremost.
>>316436056
There is an interview on the special edition (yes, i bought it), where they talk about ideas about the next movie. Basically
>Heather and Vincent wake up in an apartment (the room)
>They have visions (like usual)
>Walter Sullivan plays a major part
>other Room characters may appear
Not from the interview but (and hopefully fanfic for eternity) shit i read on some forums
>Heather acquires Pyramid Head's powers and wield his sword in the final battle
>>316435934
For one it is gonna be hard since Tomm deleted a lot of those post quotes.
>Look around..

see >>316430238
Most of these quotes are from voice interviews he did
>>316436408
>>316436512
Nice bullshit
>>316436551
Eddie was also, but that doesn't mean Angela wasn't. She was, but in a different way from different trauma. They had both killed anyway.Silent Hill dating novel with Lisa, Cybil, Angela, and Heather when?
>>316436749
So... even after setting up for the plot of Silent Hill 2, they were going to keep focusing on Heather?
Christ.
>>316436170
The game is 12 years old and the screenshot is probably from a shitty pc port.
I can deal with a lot of bullshit, but everyone who says SH3 isn't one of the best looking PS2 games ever made, is just shitposting.
>>316436749
>Heather acquires Pyramid Head's powers and wield his sword in the final battle
>>316437024
Don't recall it ever looking that jaggy in most screens. Or that dim.
>>316436426
That and you can stun lock the monsters within a couple hits.
God I wish I could find the David Bettenhausen interview where he was talking shit about the original Silent Hill games while praising the fuck out of homecoming
>>316435934
most of it has long been deleted

>>316436923
Hard to say with Eddie. He might not have killed as many as he thought he did (unless those were real corpses and not his "monsters"), but he was so far into his own world of hatred that even a harmless question about his sanity tipped him off the edge
why was there never a PC version of downpour? not that I want to play it, but I need some closure and it's the only silent hill game I have yet to beat.
>>316437970
Get her comfortable and build trust in people, so she stops expecting more rape or betrayal or harsh treatments. Help her build confidence and have her realize that what happened can't be undone, but she doesn't have to let it define her.
>>316436749
>>316438104
Nope. And it doesn't provide any closure since it's far removed from the other games.
>>316431807
It's just you brah. Frankly it's very special for me to see someone that proud to be involved in a great game. He is part of the magic that went into it's creation.
any chance of me getting a PC version?
